Review summary

Most of the staff is very nice, with the exception of the bartenders by the pool, I guess they are not happy that now all drinks are free. Which I think is a great thing! Food is very good, but not outstanding.

Perhaps the only low point is the ship itself, which is pretty old and looks outdated. Not enough hot tubs or pool entertainment. This ship should be retired.

 

Stirrup Key end up being a nice surprice, the beach fantastic and the best of the ones we visited. Being the others the one in Nassau next to Atlantis and the one in Freeport Grand Bahama.

 

This one in Stirrup Key was beautiful, the sand perfect and the beach with no waves at all, perfect to relax and enjoy a magnificent day.

 

I word of caution, be aware of the taxi dirvers in Freeport. They tell you they will charge you 4 USD to take to the beach and 4 to take you back to the ship, but once you are on the beach the say it's 7USD each way, so you have to pay. Similar treatment in Nassau to take you to Atlantis.

 

In Freeport the taxis are falling apart. The one we took broke down just 200 meters afer we took it. So we were 'lucky' that it broke down next to the parking lot where the taxi drivers have extra minivans. So our taxi driver remove the battery of the van where we were and install it in another van that look far worse than the one we were in. The taxi driver was friendly, though. But I guess there is not safety laws in the Bahamas to protect passengers and the experience seemed funny to him.

 

So my advice, hire your excursions on the ship. You won't save much going on your own and you are risking your integrity.
